Private Equity, Private Lending, and Becoming a Passive Real Estate Investor with Heather Dreves
Description
Private money is a world that is foreign to most who aren't investing in funds as accredited investors and folks just investigating how to begin investing in real estate.
In this episode, we're decoding the world of private money and private lending with our guest Heather Dreves, the Director of Funding at Secured Investment Corp, one of the fastest growing companies in the private money marketplace in the US, focusing on residential real estate investments.
In this episode, we'll explore the benefits of private lending and how it can be a viable option for investors looking to diversify their portfolios. We'll also discuss the advantages of investing in real estate passively, as well as the different types of private money lending strategies.
We learn about diversification, real estate-backed funds, and who should be considering adding to their portfolios with these passive investments.
Private lending is an alternative to traditional bank financing, where investors provide funding to individuals or businesses in exchange for a return on their investment.
Private money refers to the capital investors use to fund these loans. We'll also dive into passive real estate investing, which involves investing in real estate without actively managing the properties.
This episode is an excellent deep-dive into this world, and Heather presents everything so matter-of-fact and with deep knowledge of the space.
